Situation as of April 2016 (Implementation action)

  • The plan adopted in the previous fiscal year (the initial plan) was to secure a 20% year-on-year

increase in the amount of purchase, and to maintain our policy of raising recognition of our dealing in home appliances from the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year.

  • This was achieved not just by advertising and publicity but by rolling out a store campaign

incorporating higher purchase prices and granting additional points, etc.

Summary of Current Situation and Outlook for the Reuse Store Business in FY3/2017

49

 Purchases of reuse home appliances fell far short of plan but there are stores where the increase in purchase was linked to growth in sales and so although we are not making any change to our strategic policy direction on growth in purchase and sales, given the current situation and prospects, we acknowledge that the process will take a certain amount of time  Having considered the situation as of April 2016 in making our forecasts for the current fiscal year we have extensively revised our assumptions for the year and will be implementing cost controls in response  Since there is a wide degree of disparity between individual stores in terms

  • f purchase and sales, we are adopting a change of direction in our policy

so as to further the implementation of actions tailored to the circumstances of individual stores and plan to improve profitability by achieving the aims of our medium-term business plan as a result

Understand “the fun of reusing” and you can enjoy life even more!

A chance to find a new interest or hobby! Try choosing a writer you've never read before! Read the whole of a comic book series in one go! Be bold and take the challenge of wearing a new color or style you never worn before! The fun of coordinating! The fun of being able to buy without worrying about the price! You can see all the things you can't see anywhere else all gathered together here in one place! Choose brand goods for everyday use! The fun of collecting brands! Go on, this is your chance to pursue nostalgic sports or to grab a musical instrument you've always wanted! The blossoming of your children's talents The surfing and golf goods, the guitar you’ve wanted for so long… perhaps you can't afford it new but you can get it for reuse at a very reasonable price, and you can make a start right now without worrying if you just remember that “if I don't keep it up I can always sell it.” You've seen snowboarding, tennis, and golf genius boys and girls on TV, haven't you? It might be tough to buy a full set all in one go, but if it's reuse you can give your child the support to pursue the challenge of a new talent without having to worry about the cost. Baby goods - they soon grow out of them which is all the more reason to get them for reuse! Children grow so quickly, and the baby carriage you bought for them so lovingly soon falls out of use. At times like these, please buy your items reuse and carefree, and then just sell them again when you’ve finished with them. Nowadays, for home appliance items, the functionality of reuse is completely satisfactory! If you set out to buy all of your important home appliances in

  • ne go, it's going to amount to a very expensive bill for you to
  • pay. These days however, you can easily buy great quality

reuse products with high-level functions and excellent reliability so cheaply! Unused brand tableware at very affordable prices! The prices are so reasonable so why not get the whole set?!
